What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this spline roller. Many praise its basic functionality and value for one-time use, noting it effectively pushes spline into frames and makes the job easier. However, most express serious durability concerns, reporting that plastic components wear out quickly—edges deform, lips break off, and the concave side flattens after just one or two uses. Reviewers consistently warn it is not built for repeated use and recommend upgrading to a metal version for any long-term application. A few mention initial learning curve issues like wobbling or accidental screen tearing.

The design and handle fits nicely, but the thing doesn't work as it should. Not enough weight to it to be effective., wold have to apply more pressure for tool to work as it should.

Cheaper than the pro model
Would RecommendThis is not high quality grade stuff but if you are only fixing a couple of screens or a screen door it is more than adequate.

Barely gets job done
Would RecommendYou get what you pay for. The price makes it OK to recommend. The quality is very poor.

repair spline roller
Would RecommendGreat product just know that if you are using aluminum screen it will chew this up so you may only get one use out of it. It did however work very well and made putting the spline in much easier and allows you to keep the screen tight enough to stay put.

cheap as it looks
Would Not Recommendneeded a spline tool with both a convex and concave edged wheel...absolutely needed for 1/4 inch flat spline on a pool screen enclosure. should be able to get a quality tool for under $10 with decent sized handle and good size wheels with ball bearings. this cheap little plastic thing has neither.... will be returning and buying a proper tool on the Internet.

Great Tool
Would RecommendI had to replace a screen and didn't want to spend 7 dollars for the more expensive version. It worked perfectly and I will definitely use it again.
Does what it's supposed to do
Would RecommendThere's absolutely nothing fancy about this. It's a plastic handle with plastic wheels. That said though, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Much better than trying to use a screwdriver to push in the spline all the way around the screen door! :)
Worked Ok
Would RecommendIt Was good enough to replace screen on patio door. Should be able to use a few times no problem.
screen mania
Would RecommendI didn't even know what a spline was until I tried to make a screen window without one! Tore up the screen pretty bad on my first try. Then, I read the directions - bought this spline roller. My second screen bowed in the middle and did not fit perfectly. However, the screen was taught and without tears or rips. Now, when I need a screen I whip out my spline and slippidy smack the job is done and DONE WELL!
